Melody80 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Just wondering what everyone else will be going for BF. Im trying to make my list but as a first time BF shopper (at least a serious one this time around) Im having a hard time judging what I will really have a shot of getting and whats going to be sold out in a matter of seconds.
metaxin Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Hey! First time posting on these forums. I think this site's BF shopping list function is awesome! I wish I utilized this site for last year's shopping spree (this is my 2nd year shopping on BF). I just hope all the early bird and rebate information is intact from the ads. As for your question, I will be going for some hard drives, power tools, and miscellaneous computer-related stuff. It looks like I will be hitting up BB, CC, and maybe Compusa. I dare not venture towards Walmart for the parking lot will probably be full the night before BF and it will be total madness according to some who have been there in previous years. I think the things that get sold out the quickest are usually the high-end electronics like laptops, portable dvd players and HDTVs. They are also in slimmer numbers so they stand to have the greatest chances of being cleared out before anything else. I guess this is normal since those deals are the ones that the retailers put out to reel in more customers during BF. While one is picking up anr HDTV, might as well buy whatever else is on sale there instead of at a competitor's store. Hm... actually, what I mentioned was for electronics-oriented stores. I don't really know, but I'd guess that jewelry sells out the quickest among other retailers like Kohl's or JC Penny.
bassmount Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I may be odd this year, but I am after a video rocker, a Duo stick for my son's PSP and a few other small items. Nothing big this year. Last year it was a PC and that was almost a nightmare. LOL
shopping mom Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 What is a duo stick and are they on sale?
arrowpolisher Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I want to get some jeans from Wal-Mart. With 5 boys and hubby I need to get them cheap:) I would like to get the dc a game table of some sort( foosball, air hockey, ping pong) and I am looking at the Magnetics for one and the telescope at WalGreens for another.
blakes_mommy Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The Magic Bullet at Kohls for my mom and a 3 ton jack at harbor frieght for my hubby... I finished all three kids already!
pkripper001 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 motor oil , laundry detergent,and a HD radio.
c_michiels Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 An mp3 player, dvd recorder, and other random stuff
Spotted1 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 My #1 item is the My Little Pony Crystal Rainbow Castle. I was thrilled to see that Walmart's going to have it for $49.99, with 3 bonus ponies and a wand. My #2 item is the Durabrand Home Theater system. I was disappointed that it was everyday price in the ad, though. Hopefully it'll be something that walmart decides to butcher the price on at the last minute, though.
BrandyJervas Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 for me the Vsmile thing tops the list, then toys, camcorder, bug screen tv, and satellite radio(for me)
BrodysMother Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The Star Wars transformer set at Target.
Snoodles Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I am also out for video rockers (not sure which of them is the best choice yet), Levi's @ WallyWorld, and misc. small things. No big electronic purchases this year...
elena_398 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I'll make my final decistions on what to buy on Thanksgiving. Sad, but not one item got me too excited. I don't need any electronics so thats out
shopping mom Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I want the mens leather coat at Sears for DS and the air compressor for another DS. I plan to send someone to EB games to get the PSP on sale for 179.00
uscboy Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Not a lot... cheap DVDs, maybe a digital picture frame... Would like to get one of the 32" LCD TVs, but don't think that's going to happen.
Mike Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I was waiting for the compUSA ad wishing a Viewsonic LCD HDTV would show up on the cheap. Sadly, I am bamboozled. Depending on the length of the lines Thursday night, I will be camping at BB for the HP $379 laptop and picking up a few other things.
littlemama Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Best Buy - Kodak 7.1 mpxl/10x zoom camera for 189.00 IKEA - Markor TV stand and bookcases
ShopperMom Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Digital Photo frame for my grandparents, and misc. toys for the kids.
sammy50 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 A laptop computer and a portable dvd player.
jellybean051901 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The laptop and desktop from bb and the vsmile from WM
angelicswtnss Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I want a digital camera, video rocker and little stuff like dvd's, etc.
alexei23 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I want a GPS receiver for my SUV with a 7" screen that plays MP3s and DVDs. I'm always getting lost and having to call someone (i.e. my best friend or my dad) to get on mapquest and help me. The one I want is like $1,600 so I'm thinking I'll settle on and external lite-scribe DVD burner or a smaller less expensive GPS receiver for now. I already got my engraved Aaliyah dog tag, t-shirts, sweatshirt, and 2007 calender!
dmmiller Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 IF the rumor is correct.. I'll be at WM for the $199 laptop. And anything else I can get my hands on.. I'm just starting my shopping
kailatilear Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 On my list is a video rocker, 20in TV, vsmile, jeans and not sure what else but I know there will be more. I am getting so excited.
deelite Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 A lot....but the laptop from BB is first and foremost!
theboyzmom Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I was really hoping Walmart would have their carpenter mens and boys jeans on sale again for $6.87...but I haven't seen that Tops on my list are: I can Play Piano Scene It (my kids really want the Marvel version, saw it in the TRU book, but nobody has it) Vmigo Dragonology board game I'd really like to get the video chairs...but I'd need 4 of them, so even at $33 I don't think I'll be doing that one
star1979 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I guess an external hard drive, hoping to find some cheap micro SD cards
